Be it known that I, THOMAS A. vDr, VIL- mss, a citizen of the United States. and a resident of Toledo, in the county of Lucas and State of Ohio, have invented a certainv new anduseful Spraying Instrument and I do hereby declare the following to be a full. clear, andexact description of the invention, such as. will enable others skilled in the art to which it appcrtains to make and use the same. reference being had to-the accompanying drawings. and to the characters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

This invention relates to a liquid atomizing instrument, and has primarily for its object the provision of an improved sanitary instrument of this character which is particularly adapted for use in heating and spraying liquid parafiin, or the like, over wounds or other surfaces.

The invention is fully described in the following specification and While in its broader aspect, it is capable of embodiment in nu merous forms, a preferred embodiment thereof is illustrated in the accompanying draW- ings, in which Figure 1 is a central vertical section of'an instrument embodying the invention. Fig. 2 is a plan view of the receptacle carrying collar and attached parts-and Fig. 3 is a fragmentary perspective view thereof.

Referring to the drawings, 1 designates an open topped receptacle, preferably of cylindrical form, adapted to contain hot water, and 2 a similar receptacle for containing the liquid to be sprayed and being of a size adapted to be inserted into said'receptacle in spaced relation to its sides and bottom. as shown. The receptacle 1 is provided at its upper end with an external annular bead or shoulder 3, and the receptacle 2 has its top open and provided with an external lead or shoulder 4.

receptacle 1 and has a lip 7 at one side for en a 'in under said head. An arm 8 rejectsradially from the collar 5. substantially in dianwtrically opposed relation to'th'e lip 7, and has a handle!)projectingdownward from its outer end. catch member '10 is pivoted to the arm-8. asat 11. and is normallv held in position by a springl-Q tora catch lug 13 on its bottom edge to engage under the head 3. thus cooperating with he lip 7 to retain the-collar to the rim of the receptacle 1. i The upper open cud of the receptacle 2 is closed by ,a cap member 11. the lower edge of which rcmovalily fits into the receptacle.

A spray-head 15 ismountcd on the cap 14- and is in communication through a passage 16 and tube 17 with the interior of the re-' ceptacle 2 near its bottom. Air is supplied under pressure to the spray-head 15 from a compression bulb 18,- or in other suitable manner. It is evident that the cap 14 and spray-head can be easily and quickly removed t'rom the receptacle'fl to permit a filling-and cleaning of the parts. and also thattwo liquid receptacles. one capable of insertion into therother, andmoans having a handle and releasably engaged to both of said receptacles for carrying both in assembled relation oreithor separately from the other.

2. In an instrument of the class described, a receptacle for containing a liquid and having an open top, an atomizer receptacle for extending into said first receptacle, a collar member encircling the upper portion of said" atomizer receptacle in releasable supporting engagement therewith and adapted to rest on'the rim of the first receptacle andv to cooperate with the atomizer receptacle to close the top oiihe first receptacle, said collar member having a handle part projecting therefrom, and means for rclcasablv retainingsaid collar and first receptacle in assembled relation.

3. An instrument of the classklescribed,

, comprising a main receptacle having an open 11 ',op with an externally beaded-rim, a collar for resting on said rim and having a'lip for engaging under the bead thereof, a handle part on said collar, a catch member carried by said collar for releasably engaging said bead to cooperate with the lip to retain the collar in engagement therewith,'a second receptacle carried by said collar and removably extending therethrough down into the main receptacle in spaced relation thereto, and means for discharging a liquid in spra'y form from said second receptacle.

4. An instrument of the class described, comprising a receptacle for containing a liquid and having an open top provided with an externally beaded rim, a collar for resting on the top of said receptacle and having an arm'projecting outward and downward therefrom to form a handle and also having a lip for engaging under said bead substan-' tially in opposition to said handle, a catch member pivotally carried by said handle and normally engaging under said bead, an open topped receptacle removably extending down through said collar into said first receptacle in spaced relation thereto and having an external, stop means for coacting with said collar to limit the movement of the receptacle therethrough, a cap removably fitted into the top of said second receptacle and closing the same, and meanscarried by said cap for discharging a liquid in spray form from said second receptacle.

In testimony whereof, I have hereunto signed my name to this specification.
